The first step is to raise awareness about Solutions Journalism with the Staff, share the four pillars of solutions journalism. Get a buy-in and training. 

Appoint some reporters to work on Solutions Journalism Stories. Network with those who now have a good knowledge about solutions journalism and engage them for development purposes. 

After this we start making small steps until we get there.

Veronicah,

I promise you that if every day the four pillars (response, insights, evidence, limitations) were used in pitching, covering stories -- not only would you initiate a culture change in the newsroom, but improve the quality of reporting (even if stories do not end up being sojo stories).
